Hi! I'm Leyla and through Women on the Road, I've been providing inspiration and advice on solo female travel since 2007. A former foreign correspondent and diplomat, I've had the privilege to visit 99 100 countries so far (and no, I'm not finished yet!).

For those of you getting ready to travel right now, you'll find plenty of inspiration on these pages.
